Five young men in Bangalore ought not have been arrested on May 24 for sending out mobile phone messages ridiculing Narendra Modi's campaign. Does it still condemn them now that it is in power? On the contrary, given its continued use of the draconian IT Act, it seems there's an #Emergency2014. Amongst those who spent a night or two in jail under the draconian Section 66A of the IT Act were a businessman who criticised Congress leader P Chidambaram's son, a cartoonist who made cartoons accusing the Congress party of corruption, Air India employees involved in a trade union dispute, students who commented on the death of Bal Thackeray, and a Dalit writer who put up a Facebook post criticising Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan. Here's his speech: The Bharatiya Janata Party's online supporters equated the Congress-led regime's cases of online censorship under the IT Act with the Emergency, and #Emergency2012 trended on Twitter. He complained that we had lost our sense of humour, that we did not understand new technology and that we failed to trust the internal mechanisms of internet platforms to curb harmful speech.
Jaitley said Indira Gandhi could not have declared a state of emergency in the country in 1975 had the internet been around. In response, in May 2012, during a Rajya Sabha debate, BJP leader Arun Jaitley spoke passionately about the growing instances of the police filing cases and making arrests relating to online speech.

Many sectors of the eurozone economy have closed completely, and others are operating well below capacity, activity has fallen furthest in Italy and Spain because the restrictions there have been the most draconian. We don't need to do the broad, draconian things we did three months ago, some of these more targeted, more surgical solutions seem to be much more appropriate. We are very focused on 2020, our members know what's at stake from draconian gun control schemes, from gun confiscation to registration, so they will be out in force and The NRA will make sure of it. The last thing we want to see is individuals giving up because we ask too much of them, with a potential 18-month period ahead of us this is a less draconian and hopefully feasible form of social distancing and social isolation in groups about the size of a large extended family that prevent spread between these isolated groups. Bringing in something draconian like this is not a very good public health strategy.
